Nariman Yaghmai opened to 90,000, and Ghassan Hoss called. Eric Thompkins had other plans and shoved all in for 720,000.

With action back to him, Yaghmai asked for a count, then called. Hoss got out of the way, leaving the two players to head to showdown.

Eric Thompkins: K♥K♣ All in
Nariman Yaghmai: A♦A♣

It was a classic battle between aces and kings. Thompkins got on his feet with a smile, expecting the worst. The dealer dealt J♣8♠3♣A♠2♥. With Yaghmai catching a set on the turn, Thompkins' fate was sealed. He left, telling the rail his hand, looking satisfied with how he played.
